A demo song I wrote yesterday and record it when I was sick and dying inside 😭

At the bottom of the bottle you can find
The rest of the wine was drank last night
By a heartless ghost without a smile
My wonderful words can make it bright
I found myself in a lucid dream
I feared for me, that wasn't real
My hands my legs my body I feel them
Then I realized I was in peace
In the count of "one two three" I can't breathe
I wanna live but I feel so weak
And counting in reverse "three two one" 
I feel so dead inside of me

My entire body feels so weak
So I can't sleep and dream in peace
My nightmares comes true and that's my fear
By a heartless ghost with blood on its knees

Why the people aren't able to live free
I will be free around the trees
Listening the singing of little birds
And feeling the sound of the bitter wind
People born and die alone
Is loneliness already gone?
In spite of it's gone we must be scared
By a heartless ghost who's gonna kill us all
In the countof "one two three" start running
But I lost the strength so I feel weak
And counting in reverse "three two one" 
I will be waiting right here

Heartlessghost (demo take 2)

Northern town 

They say there ain’t a lot to do
Growing up in a Northern town
And everybody looks just like you
Growing up in a Northern town

At the end of an old dirt
Where the stars are shining bright
Everybody knows your name
And there’s only one traffic light

A Northern town a Northern town
Everybody’s getting down
 in a Northern town, a Northern town
That’s probably where they lay me down

In a Northern town in northern town
Where are your high school baseball cap crown
The Northern town in northern town
Where the good old days can still be found

Met a girl from a Northern town
Dress her up in a wedding gown
Where the sunrise meets the sky
And the sunset meets the ground

In a Northern town in northern town
Everybody’s getting down
In a Northern town in northern town
That’s probably where they lay me down
In a Northern town in northern town
Wear  your football helmet crown
In a Northern town in northern town
What are the glory days are found?

Northern Town

Sooner or later

Sooner or later
You’ll be falling apart 
Sooner or later
Is when the teardrops start 

Sooner or later 
You’ll be down in a hole 
Sooner or later 
You’ll be losing control 

You need some time
When the snowflakes fly/fall
You need some time
Walk across the sky/hall

Sooner or later 
Sooner or later 

You need some time 
When the sky turns black
You need some time 
When you can’t get back 

Sooner or later 
Sooner or later 

Sooner or later 
You’ll get lost in the pain
Sooner or later 
You’ll get stuck in the rain

Sooner or later 
You gotta pay the piper
Sooner or later 
You gotta feed the viper

You need some time
When the snowflakes fly
You need some time
Walk across the sky

Sooner or later 
Sooner or later 

You need some time 
When the sky turns black
You need some time 
When you can’t get back 

Sooner or later 
Sooner or later 

Sooner or later 
When you hear the call
Sooner or later 
There’ll be a rise and fall 

Sooner or later 
All the bells will toll
Sooner or later 
You gotta fight for your soul 

Sooner or later 
Sooner or later 

You need some time
When the snowflakes fly
You need some time
Walk across the sky

Sooner or later 
Sooner or later 

You need some time 
When the sky turns black
You need some time 
When you can’t get back 

Sooner or later 
Sooner or later
